Hot N Juicy Garlic Butter Sauce Recipe

After our last visit to Hot N Juicy, me and J kept thinking about the savory, hot, buttery taste of those shrimps. Occasionally we found this video tutoring how to make copycat version of Hot N Juicy cajun boil and garlic butter sauce. It seems not difficult at all!!! And the best part is when making your own Hot N Juicy boil at home, you get to choose what to put include in your meal, the quality of seafood, and you can tweak the taste as much as you want~~~ (Best of all, it’s a lot cheaper LOL)

Since this is a test fire version, I only used the easy access ingredients in this meal: Shrimps, clams, potatoes, corns, and Italian sausages.

I didn’t put the measurement for the seasoning because I can’t measure it… I added a little this and that and kept trying until the taste I like… so… try your version like a small experiment. I just listed the ingredients I had for this time. It tasted great!!! But I would make it more spicy and slightly less lemon pepper. Other than that, it’s awesome!!!

Lemon Butter Sauce

For the cron, sausages, and potatoes, I used pressure cooker to cook about 10 minutes before I put them into the boil with seafoods. (So it’s faster to be cooked.)

For the boil, I just used the same as in the video: one package of cajun crab boil and one fresh lemon.

I didn’t know the cajun crab boil seasoning is that salty and spicy…. I used a huge tub of water to boil everything in a big pot. When I tried a small piece of potatoes, it was already pretty salty and spicy. However, after we combined the food with the sauce, the garlic butter sauce definitely covered these taste and brought the food to another layer of flavor.

After all food is cooked, drain in a big pot and just pour the garlic butter sauce to well mix with all ingredients.

Ingredient-wise: It’s a total upgrade. 🙂 I used snow crabs, blue crabs, shrimps, some potatoes, and bell peppers. You gotta grasp as many crabs before the crab season is over, right?

Sauce-wise: I substitute half of butter into olive oil. Not only for the health reason, but also taste lighter and better. I like this version much better. I won’t get tired of the taste after just a couple bites. Also, I bought a “Cajun seasoning.” My ingredients for the garlic butter cajun boil sauce this time is:

Just to be safe, add the lemon pepper and cajun seasoning little by little to adjust the taste. They have strong pungent flavor so you don’t want it to overpower the taste.

For the boil, I still use cajun seasoning and one lemon. When the seafood is cooked, drain the water and pour over your spicy garlic butter sauce. YumYum!!! What a happy friday. 🙂

Hi, I'm Monica from Taiwan, currently live in Maryland USA. I love to experiment new recipes, try all kinds of foods, and mostly I love to explore the world and have a spectacular life. View all posts by Mon's Tasty LifeMy husband and I just got back from Vegas about a week ago. We were there for a week and did a ton of sightseeing, eating, drinking, hiking, eating, drinking, exploring, eating, drinking….ok, you get the point. 😉

Lemon Garlic Butter Shrimp (20 Minute Meal!)

We found a place called Hot’n Juicy that was right off of the strip. They were advertising crawfish on their sign, so I knew we had to check it out (my husband is a die hard crawfish fan). We ordered some crawfish & shrimp in their hot’n juicy sauce. Guuuuuuys. I can’t even explain to you how GOOD this sauce is! You pick your level of spice which makes it even better. The serve the crawfish and the shrimp (and anything else you would order) right in a bag with the delicious sauce. (See pic below).

Naturally, as we were eating there…. I started breaking down the sauce in my head and trying to replicate it. Guess what? IT WORKED! My husband was thrilled when I made Hot’N Juicy shrimp for us yesterday for lunch!

Once my sauce was ready I got a large pot of water & put a bag of zatarain’s in it with a lemon and brought it to a boil.

I also picked up some slow cooker liners to use as my serving bags to make it just like Hot’N Juicy. (My husband was impressed)

We bought this shrimp from Sams Club and I must say…. it’s the biggest shrimp I’ve ever had in my LIFE. Whatever shrimp you get – Just make sure it has the shell on & it’s raw. That way you’re not overcooking it and you’re allowing the seasonings & sauce to soak right up in it.

(I originally had my hot’n juicy sauce in this large pot & then I moved it to a little pot & used this pot to boil my water… which is why the color is off in my water)

Your shrimp won’t take long. I popped mine into the boiling water for maybe 3 minutes tops. You’ll know they’re done because they’ll turn a bright pretty pink!

6. Hold the top of the crock pot bag & shake the hot’n juicy sauce all over your shrimp. Be sure to coat all of the shrimp.
